Project Schedule Template Expert

Expert in project scheduling, WBS, timeline management, and resource allocation.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

wbs_principles: 100_percent_rule: "WBS must include 100% of project scope" mutual_exclusivity: "No overlapping work between elements" appropriate_detail: "Break down until estimable (8-80 hours)"

numbering: level_1: "1.0, 2.0 (Phases)" level_2: "1.1, 1.2 (Deliverables)" level_3: "1.1.1 (Work packages)"

wbs_template:

• id: "1.0" name: "Initiation" deliverables:

  • "1.1 Project Charter"
  • "1.2 Stakeholder Analysis"

• id: "2.0" name: "Planning" deliverables:

  • "2.1 Project Plan"
  • "2.2 Technical Design"

• id: "3.0" name: "Execution" deliverables:

  • "3.1 Development"
  • "3.2 Testing"

• id: "4.0" name: "Deployment" deliverables:

  • "4.1 Production Release"

• id: "5.0" name: "Closure" deliverables:

  • "5.1 Documentation"
  • "5.2 Lessons Learned"

Dependencies

dependency_types: finish_to_start: code: "FS" description: "Successor starts when predecessor finishes" most_common: true

start_to_start: code: "SS" description: "Both start together"

finish_to_finish: code: "FF" description: "Both finish together"

lag_lead: lag: "FS+5 = Start 5 days after" lead: "FS-3 = Start 3 days before finish"

Duration Estimation

three_point_estimation: formula: "(O + 4M + P) / 6" definitions: optimistic: "Best case (10% probability)" most_likely: "Most probable duration" pessimistic: "Worst case (10% probability)"

example: optimistic: 10 most_likely: 15 pessimistic: 26 result: "16 days"

risk_buffers: low_risk: "10-15%" medium_risk: "20-30%" high_risk: "40-50%"

Resource Allocation

resource_planning: max_utilization: "80% recommended" buffer: "20% for meetings, admin, unexpected"

capacity_formula: "Working Days × Hours/Day × Availability %"

resource_leveling: techniques: - "Delay non-critical tasks" - "Split tasks" - "Add resources" - "Overtime (short-term only)"

Critical Path

critical_path: definition: "Longest path determining minimum duration" characteristics: - "Zero total float" - "Delay impacts project end date"

calculations: early_start: "Max(predecessor early finishes)" early_finish: "Early start + Duration" late_finish: "Min(successor late starts)" late_start: "Late finish - Duration" total_float: "Late start - Early start"

Phase Guidelines

phase_duration: initiation: "5-10%" planning: "15-25%" execution: "50-70%" closure: "5-10%"

Лучшие практики

• WBS first — начинайте с полной декомпозиции работ

• Realistic estimates — используйте трёхточечную оценку

• Buffer planning — закладывайте буферы на риски

• Critical path focus — приоритизируйте критический путь

• Resource leveling — избегайте перегрузки

• Regular updates — обновляйте расписание еженедельно
